This is an essential read, and really calls for some deep thinking among liberals about the normative work that analytical terms like 'polarization' are doing in American and comparative politics

Trump beefing with a neighbor for no reason but making building more expensive at a time when we are in a housing crisis is genius level stuff.

The draft of my newest article is now online: Ezra Rosser, Poverty Law Field Guide, forthcoming Florida State University Law Review, papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers..... Please share with anyone who writes/teaches/works in poverty law or poverty law-related fields!

Stanford Law Prof. Pamela Karlan joined PBS News Hour's @amnanawaz.bsky.social to discuss how proportional representation could put an end to the gerrymandering wars. Prof. Karlan joined 500+ scholars on a letter urging Congress to adopt PR and end redistricting wars for good. Watch the segment:

In Race-Conscious Data, @profshirleylin.bsky.social argues that the collection, interpretation, and use of race-conscious data serve the common good but have been suppressed by executive action. In response, Lin offers a six-part taxonomy of ideological stances toward race-conscious data.

"What shape can world-making projects take in a “field” such as ours, which coalesces across and through hierarchies of labor, citizenship, health, gender, sexuality, race, mobility, discipline, age, and access? How might we envision community, care, and collaboration in a time of stoked division?"

Iconic line from @stevevladeck.bsky.social here in response to Will Baude’s SCOTUS boosterism www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/o...

Deeply honored to begin tenure today at @brooklawschool.bsky.social as Professor of Law. So many colleagues made the path possible, supporting me in work law and disability law during tumultuous times. Tenure during unrelenting attacks on higher ed is not a privilege or recognition ever squandered./

I went to high school with @micahlasher.bsky.social + wish we were still living in USW. Also of note: "the bulk of the outside spending — more than $20 million — came from PACs funded by AI executives [b/c of] Bores, who passed a regulatory bill in Albany last year." gothamist.com/news/micah-l...

Any massive movement w enduring effects on political understanding is not a failure-not only because of the changed commonsense but because that’s how you make an opening for a big win down the line. Few believe this despite … all of modern history. But that’s fine. That’s why I write books.

Gwen Snyder is uncivil@gwensnyder.bsky.social · 3mo ago

People said Occupy was a failure and it ushered in 15 years of actual political engagement on economic inequality People like to call BLM, Abolish ICE, etc failures and, no. Spontaneous mass protest moments rarely win immediately. But they change the political environment and lay the groundwork.

And also - our Board nominee slate of candidates announced Monday is phenomenal. @disstudies.bsky.social, please vote in your new Board members!

The lie is always repeated clearly; the correction is always elliptical. “Trump says hamsters speak French. Biologists aren’t so sure.”

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

Beyond excited to rejoin this productive confab of political scientists at @apsa.bsky.social. I'll be presenting "Disparate Impact Redux" on the Contemporary Crises in Constitutional Courts panel, and Saturday's panel on "Pluralism and Reflexivity in Teaching Practices and Course Design."

As the (U.S.) public reflects on Pride month, the arc of "justice" reminds me it's past time to empty our wallets (or in-kind offerings) to benefit trans communities, regardless of how any of us identify.
